Profile Information

About Me:
My name is Gillian. I live in the midwest. I have been living with three complex chronic illnesses for over ten years. Despite my health challenges I have tried to live a 'normal' life. I am a folk singer, I have worked as a doula (labor coach), I have worked with children for the last 13 years. I am working towards a career in pediatric hospice care.
About my Loss:
I lost my soul mate and partner Sarah on October 14, 2009. She and I shared the same chronic/serious illness. She and I were both stable and she was NOT terminal when she passed. She had some trouble breathing early in the morning on October 14th and three hours later was gone. Doctors later determined that a blood clot had passed through her heart. Losing Sarah has completely turned my world upside down and I am trying to regroup.

I lost the love of my life to a blood clot here in the Chicago area on December 19.  I am completely devastated. I miss her every day.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Hello... I am so sorry for your loss... I feel your pain in my own loss too. I lost my partner and love of my life Steve 30 days ago today suddenly and unexpectedly. He had no known physical illness and he died in his sleep at age 49, four days before his 50th birthday. This loss has taken so much of my spirit away. I have lost all of the little faith I had in some kind of life after this world. I am lonely despite my friends and family, who care very much. I miss him beyond words. I can't know your pain...but I probably have felt some of the devastation you have in losing the love of your live... wishing you peace. Christine

Gillian,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. My mom right now has blood clots in her lungs and legs but they told us not to worry, she is breathing fine. Anything could happen though. Sarah was too young, much too young. If you need to vent this is a great place to do that. Thinking about you. (((((hugs)))))

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
